emissions. i would doubt that they're illegal just illegal for street use other wise they wouldnt be able to import them here. but its dumb cause thats what everybody puts them into is daily driver cars. i just think they look the other way. but im sure a cop would more than gladly give you a ticket for havnig a jspec engine. but i will say that iot depends on the cop. the local police here come and hang out with us and hes like nice motor. so its just where you live i guess.

They usually have more horse power than the north american engines, like the 2.5 v6. (160-170 here and 195-200 there).<BR> Also japan has some engines that we never got like the 1.8 4 cyl 210 hp turbo engine from the 1994 323GTR<P>The only consern is with emmissions, if your state or province dosnt do emmission testing then you dont have to worry.<P>If your area has testing then all you have to do is keep your catalitic converter and hook up you EGR valve so it works and everything should be fine.

what if your klze dont come with an egr or there is no place to hook up the egr.what shoud i do cuz im getting check engine light.

they dont come with egrs, you need to swap the rear manifold/egr to the klze and then hook up the egr solenoids, fun huh?
